About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a dark, realistic crime thriller with a worn-down hero and more drama than nonstop fights, similar in feel to Rogue City or Lost Bullet; Not for you if you want constant martial-arts action.
Pros: gritty, tense mood; strong lead performance; grounded crime story | Cons: few action scenes; uneven pacing; some plot holes
